Deep breaths, Asha told herself as she carefully opened up the envelope. From Him. Three months to the day had passed since she wrote him a letter professing her love and the inability of her heart to go to that place. With him. Right now. She asked him to find her by the start of summer. Today was the season’s solstice. Her purple fingernail neatly tore open the flap. Inside she found a plane ticket with a name on it, and note.

Her lilac dress was made from a 100% silk sari hand-woven in a textile cooperative based in Orissa, India trimmed in red with an ancient temple motif and bhomkai. Made in India. Designed in Brooklyn.
